Mycelium not growing, NOTHING growing
    #6977294 - 05/28/07 11:04 AM (16 years, 9 months ago)

I have a jar that I inoculated well over a month ago following PF tek exactly. However, there has been no myseclium growth whatsoever. In fact, there has been no growth whatsoever. The only thing I was thinking could have gone wrong is that after I flame-sterilized my needle I put it in the jar too quick and the hot metal killed the spores before they got in. Anyone know what went wrong? Is it possible to reinoculate it and save it, or do I need new substrate altogether.

I waited until the pressure cooker was cool to the touch and the jar was too, many hours.

I am just a noob too. I inoculated my first set of 7 jars three days ago. There are in an incubator at 80F.....So how long does it take to see something?

What about the other jars? Was there only one that showed no growth? A 10ml syringe will inoculate at least 10 pf jars, so how did the other nine fare?

I always flame the needle, and then almost immediately inject. This ensures the needle is clean and contaminant free. The first drop of solution might sizzle a bit, but then the rest can flow unimpeded and sterile. Flame between each jar, but not between holes in the same jar. This prevents cross-contamination should the sterilization process not have been complete in one or two jars.

Growth is usually noticable within a week. Many experienced growers have their jars fully colonized after two to three weeks.

Did you only inoculate one jar? How much spore solution did you use?
Keep your jar lids loose during PC and incubation, and remove the foil while incubating. The dry vermiculite should stop airborne contams from entering the jar.

I had similar problems a long time ago, so I went to Ralph. Jars colonize in about 2 weeks!

I'm no pro, but this worked for me. Good Luck  :cool:

I made up my own syringe....I know...a little bit of a stretch for a noob, but i did work in a glove box with everything pressure cooked bar the spore print. I was very careful and methodical - worked everything out in my head before i started. Ok so still to early to tell! will let you know.

Original poster DID buy a syringe of a vendor. It's the second guy who made his own.
